On the “Support Chick-fil-A” Day and Protests
OP-ED August 1st, 2012 New York, Maryland and Virginia
Fast Food Giant Chick-fil-A drew enormous crowds of supporters across the country all day as people rallied in support of, as one woman on the drive though line stated it, “free speech and Christian values.”
While this writer acknowledges a total disinterest in restricting the sexual, social, or religious habits of others; so long as they do no direct physical or malicious harm to anyone, still it must be upheld that the religious right is justified in being politically correct and active in this ridiculous case.
Democrat party notables such as Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel have shoved their foots so far down their throats waving around power at one man’s opinion, however, that every Bi-Queer-Trans-Fabulous homey should go down to the chain and buy an iced tea and say, “You say and think whatever you like God bless you as long as you do not violate.”
Does this chain not serve or hire based on race/religion/orientation? All the folk this reporter witnesses this day in three states were of European-American extraction. The crowd should be all of us in our glorious messed up land. The Native Americans should be setting up tee pees in the areas saying, hey, and how, and if you genocided, raped, and dispossessed us for anything it was this freedom of speech thing (that we taught you about) so let a man say what he believes. The black panther party should have operatives ordering chicken sandwiches and marching for free speech, however silly. Act up and code pink should sit in and order nuggets in support of free speech.
If you want to say, for instance, that Mayor Bloomberg is a midget who does not know the fluid and sugar intake requirements of a normal sized human. And, you should have just moved to ban HFCS Mike, like Barbara Clark said silly. I should have the right to say that, and if I am not shooting anyone or thieving, who should care?
Every democrat and Green party supporter, you should get down to the certified hygienic chain and say, your factory horror toxic food is no worse than any other major chains and however stupid your beliefs you should have an equal right to produce lousy immoral irradiated GMO food like everyone else and I am here to drink a fluorinated water out of your petroleum coated cups in solidarity with your right as an American to be as misled and gullible as me.
Occupy should buy all their ketchup at the restaurant and chant slogans for the COO’s right to his non-violent cultural opinions.
Then you should go down to each other left right or curious and pledge to get rid of all the silly dividers hate sends our way and all love the flickering brilliance that is.
Rule Thy Self
Love
It might look like a race war, only if we do not all join it.
Consider a vegan lifestyle. Not that I will.
The good hearted souls and the others that flocked to the chain today came for many reasons, yet many came for the same few principals. The black block anarchists(if they can spare any police infiltrator/agitators from their day jobs) should march in chaotic patterns about the eatery in support of free speech without government threats.
Understand though, there are several hundred million people basically ready to fight to the death over it, if you really want to press the issue. It will be interesting to see what happens Friday. I hope all the queers and liberals go and celebrate free speech not reactionism the the simple fact that people hold many views. Should we boycott James Brown (eternal pardons upon his name and apologies for ever putting him in stir) for saying that It Is A Man’s World? And that it would not be nothing, not one single thing, without a woman to love. See. One Love.
